Jim Ringer sings this song on his Folk-Legacy CD-47 and in the notes that go with the CD he states that "one of the biggest influences on his music and possibly his whole life is a man named Otis Pierce. Otis Pierce left an orphanage in Missouri when he was twelve, and struck out to see the world. He has been a hobo, a fighter, a cowboy, a rancher, a tavern owner, an, as he often tells it, almost a movie star. Above all though Otis has always been a musician. All his songs are true stories, and this one is especially so. His mother died when Otis was quite young and his dad couldn't face raising seven or eight kids by himself. He walked off and left them."
 I felt this song would suit an autoharp accompaniment, so I hope you agree and enjoy my arrangement.
